Gospel Choir WORKSHOP Series & Concert! All ages, backgrounds, faiths are invited to share in a musical experience of Joy and Community.
Ever wanted to sing in a gospel choir?
Do you start singing every time you hear "O Happy Day"?
Did the movie "Sister Act" or "The Preacher's Wife" make you fall in love with gospel music all over again?
This summer, renowned gospel musician and Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir Founding Artistic Director Terrance Kelly is bringing the magic back to Santa Clarita, and you're invited to be part of the music.
After a fantastic event last October that brought together old friends, new friends, and people who had never tried gospel singing before, we're back for a three-part workshop and concert series. St. Stephen's Episcopal has once again opened their doors, with Music Minister Josh Wenz co-hosting this joyful community experience.
No auditions and no experience necessary. Songs are taught by ear in the Black gospel tradition. You just need to show up ready to sing!
